 	I don't see how it could be pilot error to have an empty
 /usr/X11R6 directory. :) In any case, a quick look at the Makefile for
 doscmd shows this:
 
 .if exists(${X11BASE}/include/X11/X.h) && exists(${XLIBDIR}/libX11.a)
 CFLAGS+= -I. -I${X11BASE}/include -DDISASSEMBLER
 LDADD= -L${XLIBDIR} -lX11
 DPADD= ${XLIBDIR}/libX11.a
 .else
 CFLAGS+= -I. -DDISASSEMBLER -DNO_X
 .endif
 
 When it failed for me the error was directly related to lX11, so I'd say
 that this is a genuine bug given that I didn't have either one of those
 files (although I did have an empty /usr/X11R6 directory) and yet make
 tried to link against libX11 anyway. 
 
 	I vaguely remember having some odd problems with the .if exists
 test a while back when I was working on a port, but I'm far from a make
 expert, so I couldn't really say where to look for this.
